Huh? It is for the container to hand each client a different ID. I think you have the assumptions that IDs must be in unbroken numbered sequence. Seldom is that a requirement.

What if two clients both call GET at the same time to get the *next* id to insert? What if N clients call GET to get the next id to insert but never do the PUT? PUT to a specific id is really only truly useful when the id is deterministic.
